Sony microSD memory cards are ridiculously cheap right now

Amazon is having a pretty massive sale on microSD memory cards from Sony. We're talking $32.99 for the 64 GB card, which normally goes for $114.99. (That's 71% off, for those who don't feel like doing the math.) Unfortunately, Sony's line doesn't extend up to the 128 GB denomination we've seen elsewhere, but you will find every other size under the sun, and even some solid prices on the full-sized SD cards.

Sony microSD memory cards are ridiculously cheap right now

Still making do with an 8GB card myself right now, I use my phone a lot for photos at work (for ebay listings) and completely fill it up easily within a week with the great quality snaps from my Xperia Z2 :) one day I'll snag a 128GB card when the price is right

Thank you for letting us know about this deal! I just ordered one!
I also noted that there are several other brands available for even less but ordered this Sony, anyway, because of the brand and speed.

It's not much of a sale. It's true that Sony's original MSRP price of this microSD was upwards of $100 but it's been in the $40 range for several months. I bought this when it was $39.99 about three months ago. I used it to expand my storage on my Dell Venue 8 Pro Tablet but now it's in storage. I don't want to use it in my smartphone (S3) as I'm scared it will bust in there. I'm going to use it as MP3/Video storage on my Macbook Pro or Time Machine backup storage.

FWIW, i bought a used Vita for less than $100 earlier this year and have been placing PS plus downloads into my que, cause memory cards have been expensive. $24.99 for 16GB is decent, but not that great.

The price is average now, nothing spectacular. You can get other brands with the same speed rating for as cheap or cheaper. Notice the 40mbps is the read speed.

Do not buy Patriot microSD. I bought their 64gb one for $25, it failed on me. Their website RMA process required you to choose the model that you bought from a list, but the one I bought was not listed. I emailed them instead requesting an RMA, they just link me back to their website page. I filed an RMA with a similar model with only one letter difference, haven't heard back from them since.

This. A few weeks ago, Amazon had a "sale" on SanDisk memory cards. The sale price hasn't changed: the 64GB cards go for $35, and that nets you a UHS-1 card. I haven't had any problems with the card I ordered. Thank God.

Sony and Samsung are two brands I trust with their memory products. You can get about 20 MB/s in Seq Write Speeds and the advertised 40+ MB/s for Seq Read Speeds. The cool thing is you can get around 20 MB/s in Random Write Speeds with small files which is pretty awesome.
